Jorg, as you much as you deserve credit for SchilliX your statement is stretching the truth far beyond reasonable bounds. I remember the desire for a redistributable environment from day one of this project. The GNU/Linux world has had one for a while. Since Ian was obviously part of one of the biggest and well-known GNU/Linux distributions for a long time, I'm pretty sure he didn't get the concept from SchilliX. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
